Prelude Op 103 No 9 from Nine Preludes

Gabriel Fauré (born May 12, 1845, Pamiers, Ariège, France—died Nov. 4, 1924, Paris) was a composer whose refined and gentle music influenced the course of modern French music.

There are many pieces by Fauré in Concert Hall, arrangements from the Requiem, Cantique de Jean Racine, Après Un Rêve, the Pavane, Sicilienne from "Pelleas et Mélisande" etc but I thought I would add one of his 62 or so pieces for piano.

Number 9 Adagio. Copland described this prélude as "so simple – so absolutely simple that we can never hope to understand how it can contain such great emotional power." The prélude is withdrawn in mood; Jankélévitch wrote that it "belongs from beginning to end to another world. Koechlin notes echoes of the "Offertoire" of the Requiem throughout the piece.

There seem to be two melodies throughout the piece heard clearly in the first 8 bars that continue to the end. The layout of the music and the voices make this a suitable piece to adapt to the organ.
